Bye, bye Morsi? 48 hour ultimatum from the generals

Yeah, "conflicted" is putting it mildly.  I think that most of us here can agree that both Islamists and military coups are bad things.  No great answers here.

I am going to choose to be positive here and assume that the military is acting in response to the popular protests, rather than instigating them.  If it is the former, then I hope they can successfully, but gently, urge a recall election, in which hopefully the more urban and secular portions of the country will be energized to vote in a liberal/moderate. 

If it is the latter, then, ugh, I don't know.

Hasn't Obama done that?

I'm pretty sure Obama has gone out of his way to do the exact opposite.
